ADJUSTMENT OF PILOT FLAME (GRIDDLE MODELS)

The pilots are adjusted at the factory. If later the pilots are over-adjusted to the point where the flame is leaving its port, or 

“blowing off,” the result is an unstable condition in which the pilot may extinguish. If necessary, adjust each burner’s pilot 

using the following procedure:

1. Open the door on the lower front of the appliance, remove the control knobs, and remove the control panel by removing     

    the screws holding it in place.

2. If necessary, light the pilots.

3. Locate the adjustment valve of the pilot that needs adjustment (see Figure 7 below). On thermostatic griddles, the valve   

    is in the pilot’s supply line, while on manual griddles the valve connects the pilot’s supply line to the front manifold. Turn    

    the pilot adjustment screw to the left to increase the size of the pilot flame, or to the right to decrease the size of the  

    pilot flame. The flame should be about 1/2” high with a slight yellow tip, and cover the thermocouple tip. The flame is   

    too high if the yellow tip is producing black streaks of carbon.

4. Repeat Step 3 for each pilot.

5. Replace the control panel and knobs.

ADJUSTMENT OF PILOT FLAME (CHARBROILER AND OPEN-TOP MODELS)

The pilots are adjusted at the factory. If later the pilots are over-adjusted to the point where the flame is leaving its port, or 

“blowing off,” the result is an unstable condition in which the pilot may extinguish. If necessary, adjust each burner’s pilot 

using the following procedure:

1. If necessary, light the pilots.

2. Locate the pilot adjustment valve (see Figure 8 below). Turn the pilot adjustment screw to the left to increase the size   

    of the pilot flame, or to the right to decrease the size of the pilot flame. The flame should be about 1/2” high with a slight    

    yellow tip. The maximum pilot flame height is 3/4”. The flame is too high if the yellow tip is producing black streaks of   

    carbon.

4. Repeat Step 3 for each pilot.

5. Replace the control panel and knobs.
